Volunteer-O-Matic
Our open source tool enables citizens of a city or region to find out about local volunteering opportunities and find suitable offers in a fun way. As with the Wahl-O-Mat, users only have to answer a few short questions. More than 30 municipalities and volunteer agencies already have their own Volunteer-O-Matic.
If you can't decide between the Volunteer-O-Matic and our Community portals , we offer an integrated solution that gives you and your clubs the best of both worlds.
How to
local & playful engagement matching
I would like to get involved in my free time, but I don't know what opportunities there are locally.
In the Volunteer-O-Matic, I answer a series of short questions about my strengths and interests.
The local clubs with the highest match are suggested to me and I can find out more about them.
I get in touch and start my involvement in one of the clubs that suits me best.
What is special about it?
Playful & self-explanatory
"Which local organisation suits you best?" - this question arouses curiosity and invites people to try out the new tool. But the idea is not that new: most people already know the principle from the Wahl-O-Mat and are immediately familiar with the Volunteer-O-Matic.
For target groups of all ages
Thanks to its playful nature, the Volunteer-O-Matic creates a low-threshold approach that invites citizens from young to old into the world of volunteering. The tool is interactive and responsive, but at the same time simple enough to appeal to people with less digital experience.
Low effort - high added value
How does all the data get into the Volunteer-O-Matic? Don't worry, we'll take care of most of it. With our experience from numerous successful projects, we have developed an efficient creation process that we will guide you through step by step.
Data protection & open source
Compliance with the GDPR and thus the protection of all data related to the Volunteer-O-Matic is very important to us, which is why we do not use any user data for commercial purposes or otherwise pass it on to external parties. The fact that our software is open source also guarantees a high degree of transparency.
Individually customisable
Every Volunteer-O-Matic is unique. We attach great importance to customising the product and the creation process to your wishes - from the range of functions to the design, so that the Volunteer-O-Matic can be seamlessly embedded in your existing website.
Co-operative & oriented towards the common good
Our own values as a cooperative connect us to associations, local authorities and volunteer agencies, with whom we work as equals. We operate according to the principles of the Economy for the Common Good and attach great importance to achieving real impact with our work.

For your Municipality
The majority of social engagement takes place at the local level. Municipalities and districts therefore play a central role in supporting the local engagement landscape. With the Volunteer-O-Matic, you give your citizens a tool with which they can easily find their way around and find the right offers despite the variety of options. At the same time, you support your local clubs in gaining more visibility and popularity. Due to its playful and low-threshold nature, the Volunteer-O-Matic is also particularly suitable for reaching younger people.
For your Volunteer Agency
Finding new volunteers for voluntary work is one of the core tasks of volunteer agencies. Digitalization makes this task more challenging. In order to gain visibility and, above all, to reach younger target groups, it is important to keep up with digital trends. With the Volunteer-O-Matic, you can supplement your volunteer placement with a simple and contemporary tool that appeals to target groups of all ages. In this way, you support the clubs, help citizens in a fun way and have more time for the projects that are important to you.
Volunteer-O-Matic × Community portal
In addition to the Volunteer-O-Matic, we at wechange eG also offer community portals. Whether as a social intranet for your organization or as a citizen platform for an entire city or region - with one of our portals, you give your community a secure digital home. Everyone involved can work together in self-managed spaces, make their activities visible and network with each other.
We offer the Volunteer-O-Matic not only as a standalone tool, but also as a fully integrated extension in a community portal. This gives the clubs double the added value: when they register on the portal, they can use the tools for collaboration and networking and at the same time are automatically represented in the Volunteer-O-Matic, which gives them more visibility.
